Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 125: Cannon Fodder Gold Targeted by Slaves 8

*

At this time, in the Fengyi Palace of the Imperial Palace, Crown Prince Wei Congyu was having breakfast with his mother.

All the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the hall had left.

"Now your father favors the imperial concubine and places special emphasis on the second prince she gave birth to. Although you are the crown prince now, your foundation is not stable. You still need to marry an important official to consolidate your power in the court."

The queen, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with elegant manners, was looking at Wei Congyu who was sitting opposite her with a sullen face.

"Prime Minister Yun is highly regarded by the Emperor and has a high prestige in the court. I remember that he has an only daughter who grew up with you and you have a good relationship. If we can get engaged, it will definitely be beneficial to you."

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

Wei Congyu responded calmly. He thought of the delicate and soft Ah Wu, his eyes dimmed, and then he continued:

"But my father mentioned it once before, and Prime Minister Yun seems reluctant to let Awu marry into the royal family."

"My son, you are worrying too much. He loves his daughter so much. You just need to use some effort to please his daughter and make the marriage agreement first."

The queen frowned slightly and said that she was getting old and losing her beauty, and was gradually becoming less favored by the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was becoming more and more fond of the imperial concubine and the second prince, she was afraid that one day the emperor would support Wei Yan to ascend the throne.

Therefore, she was determined to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"At worst, find an opportunity to have someone do something, and then you can show up in time to save the girl, and then this matter will naturally be accomplished."

"My son knows."

Wei Congyu agreed with his eyes lowered, but his tone and eyes showed neither sadness nor joy, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

A satisfied smile appeared on the queen's face, but she actually didn't want Wei Congyu to marry Yun Wu. She just wanted to get the powerful support from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The candidate she was satisfied with was her own sister's daughter, who was also the prince's cousin.

"Cong Yu, you don't have to really marry the daughter of the Yun family. You just need to make an engagement. Once you have consolidated your position as crown prince with the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can abandon it when you ascend the throne and marry your cousin as your queen."

"Thank you, mother, for worrying about me. I will leave the palace and go to the Prime Minister's residence to give Ah Wu a coming-of-age gift."

Wei Congyu lowered his eyes and nodded. He did not agree with what the queen had just said, but he did not deny it either.

"You can go and test her intentions. If she is unwilling, then do as the Queen Mother says."

The queen nodded approvingly. If she could successfully arrange a marriage with the Prime Minister's Mansion, her son's position as the crown prince would never be shaken.

Wei Congyu had a complicated expression, but he finally agreed. Under the current circumstances, he really needed to establish a relationship with the powerful Prime Minister's Mansion.

As for Awu, after he ascends the throne, he will certainly purge some of the old ministers of the previous dynasty, and he will certainly start with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although he will not be able to give Awu a formal status at that time, he can keep her outside the palace.

Yun Wu was in a good mood on the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion from the school in the carriage.

Because the teacher praised her for her improved handwriting today, Wei Yan also praised her. Apart from the fact that Wei Jinyao always quarreled with her, school was not so annoying today.

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Chun Xing carefully helped Yun Wu step on the stool and get off the carriage.

As a result, it started snowing outside, and Yun Wu was just about to raise her hand to cover her hair to prevent it from getting wet by the snow.

Suddenly, an oil-paper umbrella was placed over her head. Yun Wu put down her hands to cover herself, and saw Xie Rongjing suddenly standing in front of her.

He held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand to shield her from the snow, his handsome face slightly lowered with a look of respect.

"Miss! Miss!"

At this time, a servant hurried out from the mansion. He saluted towards Yun Wu hurriedly and said quickly:

"His Royal Highness has come, but the master has not returned yet. I am undecided, so I invite His Royal Highness to the main hall first."

"No problem, I'll go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince right away."

Yun Wu said that she remembered Wei Congyu mentioned in the school yesterday that he came today probably to give her a coming-of-age ceremony.

Chun Xing was just about to step forward and take the oil-paper umbrella from Xie Rongjing's hand so that she could follow Yun Wu.

As a result, he didn't get the oil-paper umbrella, but was squeezed forward by Xie Rongjing and occupied the position closest to Yun Wu!

"It's snowy and damp, and the young lady's skirt is a little wet. Go back and prepare some hot water so that she can take a bath when she returns to her room to avoid catching a cold. I'll accompany her there."

Xie Rongjing stood calmly at Chun Xing's original position and spoke to her.

"Well... okay then..."

Chun Xing touched her head and agreed, then looked at Xie Rongjing's back as he escorted Yun Wu away with an umbrella.

She realized later that something sounded a little off.

In the main hall of the front yard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wei Congyu, wearing a dark yellow cloak with dark patterns, stood with his hands behind his back. Beside him, two personal eunuchs were bending over and waiting, with brocade boxes in their hands.

"Your Highness, Miss Yun is here."

One of the eunuchs uttered a sharp voice, and Wei Congyu turned around.

It was snowing outside now, and a delicate and pretty figure in tender yellow was walking towards them in the white snow.

Wei Congyu's expression softened a little without him even realizing it. The little girl was dressed particularly beautifully and pretty today.

But soon he discovered Xie Rongjing, who was following Yun Wu closely and holding an umbrella to shield her from the snow.

Wei Congyu remembered that man. He was a slave bought by Yun Wu as a study companion. He did not look like a lowly slave.

Yun Wu walked quickly into the main hall. It was snowing and cold outside. Her fair little face was a little red from the cold, and her goose yellow clothes made her look even more delicate.

"My daughter has met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Awu, I've already told you that you don't have to be polite when you see me."

Wei Congyu said softly, Yun Wu bowed to him politely and then raised her head to look at him.

"Daddy said that etiquette cannot be abolished."

Yun Wu blinked her glass-like eyes and spoke in a soft and pleasant voice.

In fact, Wei Congyu once told her to just call him Brother Congyu, but she always felt that the title was too intimate and a bit awkward, so every time they met she still politely called him His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Xie Rongjing silently held the folded umbrella and waited behind Yun Wu.

Wei Congyu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and immediately noticed the robe he was wearing. Clothes made of such fine material were not something a slave like him could wear. It must have been a reward from his master Yun Wu.

But Wei Congyu didn't think much about it, and turned to look at Yun Wu calmly.

"I came here today to give you a coming-of-age gift. I was delayed before, but today I can finally make up for it in person. I wish my Ah Wu peace, happiness and success in everything."

Wei Congyu's voice was gentle, and the tone he used when speaking to Yun Wu was just as gentle and elegant as his appearance, but there was some temptation in his eyes to see Yun Wu's reaction.

Wei Congyu deliberately said "my lonely Awu", and this title intentionally brought him and Yun Wu closer.

Xie Rongjing, who was waiting on the side, slowly loosened his clenched fists. There was a hint of coldness in his lowered eyes as he recalled what Wei Congyu had just said.

His Awu?

Humph... As expected, he wanted to covet his young lady, but the young lady didn't like him, and the young lady would not reward this vixen like she rewarded him.
